Be Green - Recycle Used M ving Boxes - Save A Tree and M ney Are you relocating-possibly to our c ld state of Minnesota? Consider this wh n making your relocation: the amount of m ney spent moving depends a lot on wh t you are willing to do and how m ch time you leave to plan. You s e, when moving the only thing th t really matters is that you get all y ur property from point A to p int B intact and undamaged. The m re effort you spend planning out y ur move and the less help you h re, the cheaper it is. Then gain, this inexpensiveness comes at a pr ce. You will have a lot m re work and you might have to t ke a few risks. I'm sure y u've heard the cliche, "if you d n't have a plan, you are pl nning to fail." So, regardless of how you m ve-by yourself, with professional movers, or s mething in between, the key to y ur success will be in the pl nning. If your relocation is to M nnesota you will find that our rea is serviced by all the big n tional name movers you might be f miliar with. We also have some xcellent local Twin Cities MN movers th t I personally have used. It was l ss expensive and I like to h lp local businesses. One of the asiest ways to save money on m ving is with used moving boxes. The m re organized you are at packing, the asier it will be for you to s ve money. Most over your possessions can pr bably be moved in free boxes th t you can get outside of st res. A lot of grocery and l quor stores go through literally hundreds of c rdboard boxes in a week. Usually, th y will be perfectly willing to g ve them to you for free if you sk. Although these are not great sed moving boxes for heavy or v luable possessions, for most of the r utine transportation that you do they w ll work just fine. They are sm ll enough to be easy to h ndle, and they are fairly solid as w ll. If you don't take them, th y may get recycled or worse-they m ght end up in the landfill.

For your bigger, heavier items, s metimes it makes more sense to nvest in higher quality used moving b xes. This is especially true if you h ve a lot to move. Going and g tting boxes from grocery stores is f ne for a small household, but for a l rger move you want your boxes to all be of the s me size. This makes it much asier to stack them and guarantees th t they will not shift around on the way ver. Besides used moving boxes, there are a lot of ther shipping and storage supplies that you can get for y ur move. A lot of people I kn w like to move in stages. Wh n I moved, I was lucky nough to have it staged over a few m nths. This way, I was able to t ckle the huge job little by l ttle. Many people will put their m st important and needed possessions in sed moving boxes and take them ver to the new house. They l ave their less important stuff in st rage until they start to get s ttled. Then, one trip at a t me, they start to bring things out of st rage and over to the house. Th s stops things from getting cluttered and m kes the transition to living in the new pl ce that much easier. The trade-off is th t it takes longer to do. Ov rall, it is probably more involved and m re work. Still, it does let you st rt living in your house immediately w thout the worry of additional clutter. D n't be surprised if it takes you a few y ars to go through all your b xes. Usually you'll get to the big tems first. Then you'll settle into y ur life. That box in the c rner can sometimes become a piece of f rniture. Resist that temptation. Make your sp use happy. Commit to emptying out th t final neglected box or two in the b ck corner.
